The worst part of it all, is that I genuinely enjoyed the movie, until they’ve decided to relegate Ben Solo, the only Skywalker out there, to the sidelines. I’ll never understand why Rey and Ben couldn’t face Palpatine together, why the both of them couldn’t be blessed by the past jedi. We shouldn’t forget that it was Ben Solo who was manipulated since birth by Palpatine, it was Ben Solo who suffered all the consequences of that torment, and DEFINITELY it should have been Ben Solo to bring closure to the Skywalker family, by avenging and fighting his family’s source of problems.

It’s unfair what they did to the best character of the ST. Killed off without any sort of recognition, satisfaction, moment of catharsis. I can’t accept it...

I’m so devoid of emotions. It sounds stupid, but I feel like I’ve lost one of my closest friends and nobody could explain to me why he’s gone.

BEN, you’ll always be our beloved prince of Alderaan, worthy son of your parents 🧡

Final Thoughts on Mons(TROS)ity

I’m not even just upset that Ben died. That’s the rotten cherry on top of how every single character in the entire Skywalker Saga was fucked up in this film.

As much as I love Rey, the fight against Palpatine was most certainly Ben’s. This man has been mentally torturing him and manipulating him since he was in the fucking womb. He poisoned his relationships with his family. He convinced him that he had to kill his own father in order to ever be or mean anything. Yet he gets yeeted off a cliff in the final fucking battle. He doesn’t get revenge for all that’s been done to him and the past two generations of his family before him. Not to mention he only holds the legacy saber for all of 3 minutes at most. He doesn’t even set foot on the Millennium Falcon or talk to Uncle Lando and Uncle Chewie. He doesn’t get to hear the real voice of his hero/grandfather. He’s a mentally ill abuse victim that ended up killing himself. That leaves a really shitty taste in my mouth despite the fact that he did it for the girl he loves.

Am I really supposed to believe that Rey being sold into slavery to an extremely abusive guy on a desert wasteland is a good thing??? And what about the message that she made herself who she is and the Force chose her to be powerful because she is strong and compassionate despite how terribly she’s been treated her whole life? That she didn’t get her power from a legacy bloodline, but from herself?? Nope. She’s powerful because she is a Palpatine. And despite surviving in the desert all her life so that she could someday have a family, she ends up all alone in a different desert. Exactly where she began, but now she has trauma and the loss of her soulmate to deal with. Fuck everything.

Why didn’t Leia train Ben herself if Luke had trained her? She gave her son away when he was a kid because she just didn’t have time to deal with her only child while he was struggling with depression and anxiety? His powers reacting to his inner turmoil was just too inconvenient to her career?? Yeah, sure, totally sounds like Leia Skywalker Organa Solo to me.

Finn being a former stormtrooper that’s defected to the resistance is more of an after thought than a real plot line?? This is something we’ve never seen before. We’ve seen desert kids become powerful Jedi. We’ve seen powerful Jedi fall to the dark side and “redeem themselves” through death. We’ve seen Palpatine be defeated and killed before. Finn’s story was fresh and interesting and in the end all he does is make eyes at Rey and provide occasional comic relief.

What the hell is the point of Poe’s story? He doesn’t really have one. He was supposed to die in the first film and it shows because he hasn’t served much purpose at all since the first 10 minutes of TFA besides being attractive and acting like an ass most of the time. So inspiring.

Rose barely exists in this movie. She’s more of a cameo than anything. Her beautifully heartbreaking story about her sister, her kindness in the face of evil and destruction, her strong will and determination to do the right thing, her passion for justice, and her inspiration to a whole new generation of rebels and Jedi are all thrown out the window.

Luke, Han, and Leia all died so that Ben could live and finally feel light and happiness in his life. Well that didn’t work. He died. And why would Rey take the name Skywalker instead of Solo? She was in love with Ben Solo, her personal hero is Han Solo, and her real Jedi master was Leia Organa Solo. The Millennium Falcon is her ship and her best friend is Chewie. But she goes with fucking Skywalker?? Ok.

All the Jedi rushed to the aid of Rey in her moment of need but not a single one of them could be bothered to ever help Ben throughout his entire life despite being the grandson of the Chosen One. No one ever raised so much as a finger when he needed help, not even his grandfather that he loved and admired deeply to the point of following him down the path of his mistakes.

Anakin couldn’t talk to him and convince him to stay good or return to the light, but he gives his power to Rey and tells her to Rise?? A girl he doesn’t know at all??? Obi Wan “BEN” Kenobi couldn’t help and teach the child named after him?? A name that is synonymous with HOPE in SW. What a joke.

The Chosen One means nothing. The Skywalker bloodline means absolutely fucking nothing even though this entire universe was built around them. They aren’t the Balancers of the Force. They aren’t super powerful Force demigods despite having the Force literally woven into their DNA because of how Anakin was born, not just in midi-chlorian form. They’re all dead. The “Rise of Skywalker” indeed. Cruel irony at its finest.

In conclusion, this is how I feel about the movie. Take it away George:

JJ singlehandedly ruined an entire lifetime of lore and storytelling for who the fuck knows or cares why. Rian is the one who truly respected SW and handled the lore beautifully while also introducing new concepts to the franchise.

I will always love Reylo, Star Wars, and the Skywalkers. I hope they get Ben back in canon books or something, but I’ll always be bitter about the awful way every single fucking character in the Skywalker Saga has been so completely disrespected.

This fandom is wonderful and very inspiring and I can’t wait to see what gorgeous art and fanfics y’all come up with. I’m truly so grateful to be part of something so much bigger than myself; something JJ Abrams will never understand.

I have spoken.

(Hello I’m back to Tumblr again)

[reyloismyendgame]

Y'all do realise that Palpatine managed to wipe out all of the Skywalkers and that he won right?

In a movie about hope and family the main villan fucking succeeds

[reyloismyendgame]

The one good thing we are getting out of TROS

The good shots of Ben

Brb...crying right now 😭😭😭

[reyloismyendgame]

OH and what the actual hell was up with Rey Palpatine??? Who did Palps fuck???

[reyloismyendgame]

it’s crazy how much these two characters have in common, including how THEY BOTH DESERVED BETTER

[reyloismyendgame]

It’s also disgusting how they completely sidelined Rose after she literally saved Finn’s life in the previous movie. They barely interacted at all.

And Finn wanting to presumably confess his love for Rey, and Poe continually looking jealous. And Jannah seeming to be a new love interest for Finn.

What even were they thinking?

[reyloismyendgame]

FEEL LIKE SHIT

Just want him BACK

[reyloismyendgame]

Tros is fucking bullshit.

Fuck you jj

[reyloismyendgame]

Even with all of the other nonsense, I think the thing I'm most despondent about might be the fact that Adam Driver was only billed as "Kylo Ren" in the credits. What a slap in the face, SHOW SOME RESPECT TO BEN SOLO, YOU JAGS!

THIS IS FUCKING BEN SOLO AND HE DESERVES TO BE CALLED SO!

[reyloismyendgame]

JJ Abrams is fucking cancelled.

[reyloismyendgame]

all of us @ tros

[reyloismyendgame]

I lowkey thought

It was hilarious that every time Ben got pissed at First Order member he just raised his finger and wagged it like, "BITCH.......I have spoken."

"Dad." followed by The Yeet of the Century

Leaps through the hole like a goddamn prince, slams into something, "Ow."

That smile. Those puppy eyes. That giggle. The love.

I will forever love Ben Solo
